frosty have you tried couch knights?
http://www.theriftarcade.com/couch-knights-available/
kind of a 2 rift user game and needs a gamepad, but probably represents the future of pokemon type games.
Not yet, I'll put that on my list.
Over the weekend I managed to get War Thunder working, it's multiplayer flight sim game based in WW2 which works exceedingly well with the Rift, these are the kind of games where the Rift won't just be a gimmick, you'll be compelled to use the Rift all the time you play, taking off the runway as you look across the wings either side of you gives you a really good feeling of scale.
I've tried
Proton Pulse a cool little block breaker demo, that works surprisingly well and is fun to play.
Spacewalk is a demo where you can maneuver a space suit around a space station, that really freaks me out because it makes you feel so isolated and alone, being adrift in space is really freaky.
Don't let go is a really cool demo which you "win" by simply holding both control keys on your keyboard, in VR you see your avatar at a desk in an office with his hands on the ctrl keys of a laptop, then you're tested in a variety of ways that make you want to let go of the keys.
Lol screen door was terrible on the DK1. I knew 1080p wouldn't be nearly enough after using the DK1. It needs 4k to be enjoyable over long periods of gaming.
I am extremely optimistic about Oculus. I was very glad that I was able to preview the tech and eagerly await it maturing.
The screen door is still noticeable for sure, I don't think 4k will be the sweet spot because performance is going to be hard to achieve at 75-90fps required for low persistence along with the other post processing effects required. I think something closer to 2560x1440 will be best for CV1.
reat!! could u descrive the 3d effect more...sometimes in 3d movies things seem to pop out of a 2d background. How would a view of a scene in hl2 differ from a scene either in real life depth perveption or complete 2d perception.
how good is your focus? ive also niticed in 3d movies the scene is not as clear as the 2d versiin.
There's several major differences between stereoscopic 3D with movies and with the Rift, all of which make the Rift superiour.
First of all the rift displays 2 separate frames in parallel, one to each eye but it doesn't have to alternate between one eye and the other like typical 3D, this means you do not get flicker associated with switching, you do not get ghosting (where one eye see's the fading image previously displayed for the other eye), also because polarization isn't used the brightness and overall contrast of the scene is significantly better.
It also means the frame rate is better, not just because you can push games at a better frame rate to begin with but also because in traditional stereoscopic 3D each eye only see's half the frames presented.
Probably the biggest differences is being able to alter your point of view, depth through stereoscoposy is great, but the feeling of real depth comes from being able to move your head and see the parallax effect between objects at different distances, even if it's just a subtle movement.
3D in the Rift is basically better in every way, I own Nvidia Vision 2.0 and 3D glasses with a light boost monitor which I happen to think presents a better 3D experience than most cinemas do, but the Rift even blows that out the water.
hehe Princess; Morpheus is coming along nicely; my friends back in the states that have had a chance to demo it at a few events; along with them owning dev1 kits for Oculus; they were blown away by Morpheus that were running on the PS4.
I think both will be awesome and very much something that is needed in the PC field.
I think that development in the PC field is what really pushed Sony to do this, as always the innovation really comes on to the PC first and bleeds back to consoles. I think the main issue with the PS4 is it won't have the kind of GPU power to give a good VR experience with nice looking games, either they'll skimp on the graphics a LOT or it's going to be a choppy and unresponsive experience. It is good to see competition however.
